Howard Lawrence: Creating a Neighborly Vibe

Welcome to this week's episode of The Neighboring Movement Podcast! In this episode, we had the honor of interviewing Howard Lawrence in Edmonton, Alberta. Amongst so much more, Howard is an experienced neighboring practitioner, an expert on asset-based community development, and the leader of Edmonton's Abundant Communities Initiative.

As host Adam names in this episode, if you've been in the ABCD (asset-based community development) world for long, Howard's name is gonna crop up! He has been experimenting with various neighboring and ABCD practices for years, and he is also at the helm of this work within a city with incredible neighboring infrastructure. In this episode, Howard dives deep into how this work looks on the ground in Edmonton and also other contexts, and it's jam packed with resources, stories, and learnings. We are so very excited to share this one with you all, and we hope you enjoy!
